Scottish Certificate for Licensed Premises Staff E-learning course

Under the Licensing Act (Scotland) 2005, all staff working in licensed premises in Scotland must undertake a minimum of two hours of training, covering 16 prescribed training units.

The Scottish Certificate for Licensed Premises Staff (SCLPS) e-learning course is a fully interactive training programme, covering the 16 training units prescribed by law. This course has been designed to help aid managers, supervisors and Scottish licensed premises owners deliver the required units of training in an easy and time saving format.

Once a candidate has achieved this award and received their SCLPS certificate they will be ready to start work immediately in licensed premises anywhere in Scotland. A record of this training must also be kept at the licensed premises by the premises manager.
